Tokyo Nikikai Schumann "Scenes from Goethe's Faust

As part of the Concertante Series presented by the Tokyo Nikikai, we will perform "Scenes from Goethe's Faust," Schumann's great work in which he poured his heart and soul. Under the baton of master conductor Sebastian Weigle, the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, the Nikikai Chorus, and Japan's finest singers including Teruhiko Komori will come together. The semi-staged production will beautifully fuse Goethe's profound philosophy and Schumann's emotionally rich music. Enjoy the magnificent world of the dramatic chorus and orchestra in the excellent acoustics of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space Concert Hall. This is a rare opportunity to fully enjoy the essence of the work in its original language with subtitles.
